GIVING SHOULD BE DONE REGULARLY
“On the first day of every week, each of you is to put aside and save whatever
extra you earn, so that collections need not be taken when I come.” (1 Cor. 16:2 – NRSV)
“Think of us in this way, as servants of Christ and stewards of God’s mysteries.” (1 Cor. 4:1)
We are called to be “servants of Christ and stewards of God’s mysteries.” As stewards of God’s gifts, we look for ways to share them with others regularly – without fear! Are you finding it difficult to share your gifts—especially financial gifts–regularly as you watch and wait during these tenuous times in our history as a nation and a church? If so, you might consider making a life income gift. Yes, by giving a gift, you may have more resources available now to give regularly. Plus, you have the assurance of knowing that a larger gift will benefit your church and other favorite charities upon your death.
How? Through a Charitable Gift Annuity, which allows you to receive income during your lifetime, and to bene-fit your church and other favorite charities afterward. Charitable Gift Annuities can be established with a gift of $2,000 or more and the income rate is dependent up-on your age at the time of your gift.
